EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient jewelry known as the Tanit pendant. Crafted between the 7th and 6th centuries BC by Phoenician artisans, this pendant is made of pure gold and measures approximately 2.2 cm in length. The intricate design features a hollow sheet box shaped in the form of the sign of Tanit, an anthropomorphic lunar goddess worshipped by the Phoenicians.
